A panel of the Oklahoma House said it’s time for voters to consider whether the state needs a new constitution: the current version is one of the world’s longest governing documents and includes a declaration that the flashpoint of kerosene is 115 degrees Fahrenheit.

State Rep. Gary Banz has tried several times, once in 2009 and another in 2011. Despite his best efforts, however, Banz, a Republican from Midwest City, still can’t get legislation concerning one particular issue through both houses of the Oklahoma Legislature.

Gov. Mary Fallin on Tuesday reissued a call for a special legislative session to address changes in Oklahoma’s civil justice system after she made reference to a part of the state constitution that doesn’t exist.

Oklahoma lawmakers will again consider legislation setting limits on lawsuits and making it easier to dismiss those that don’t have merit after the state Supreme Court struck down a 2009 law on the matter.
